# Kindred of Ireland: Overhead Tennis Hero and Italic Manifesto

## Overview

Modern-heritage fashion presented with an editorial sensibility. The UI is spacious, tone-down, and text-led so photography carries the mood. Prioritise calm pacing, high readability, and subtle ornament (italics, small caps) over graphic effects. Audience: considered fashion buyers seeking craftsmanship and made-to-order pieces.

## Colors

- **primary (#000000):** Core text and strong UI accents.
- **secondary (#55555a):** Subdued copy, captions, and secondary metadata.
- **neutral (#fbf8f5):** Linen-cream page background and section panels.
- **brand-nero (#232427):** Deep accents, overlays, and dark fills when white text is needed.
- **brand-explosive-grey (#c4c4c5):** Hairline rules, dividers, and subtle borders.
- **surface ({colors.neutral}):** Default card and section surface.
- **on-surface ({colors.primary}):** Text color on surfaces and cards.

## Typography

- Headlines use Freight Big Pro (light weights with frequent italics) across four levels: lg 32/300/1.0, md 27/300/1.19, sm 23/300/1.39, xs 19/300/1.11. Role: editorial statements, product intros, and manifesto lines.
- Body copy uses Folio Std at 16/300/1.5 for product descriptions, navigation, and utility UI.
- Availability: both Freight Big Pro and Folio Std are custom/licensed (Adobe Fonts/self-hosted), not Google. Recommended substitutes:
  - For Freight Big Pro: Playfair Display, Cormorant Garamond, or Libre Baskerville (all Google) to approximate high-contrast editorial serifs.
  - For Folio Std: Inter, IBM Plex Sans (Google), or system Arial for a neutral neo-grotesque.
- Use italics selectively for emphasis in headlines and manifesto copy; keep body text roman for legibility.

## Layout

Spacing steps are asymmetric: xs 2px for micro trims, sm 10px and md 20px for default gutters and element gaps, lg 58px and xl 74px for generous section breathing room. Build sections on a simple multi-column grid with wide outer margins; default vertical rhythm stacks on 20px increments, with lg/xl used to separate hero, manifesto, and product blocks. Keep line lengths moderate to support the light serif.

## Elevation & Depth

No shadows are used across the system. Hierarchy is expressed through scale, whitespace, and tonal shifts from neutral (#fbf8f5) to image backgrounds. Apply brand-explosive-grey (#c4c4c5) hairlines for dividers and inputs when separation is needed; avoid heavy borders.

## Shapes

Buttons are hard-edged (0px radius) to feel tailored and precise. Content containers and UI cards use a single soft radius of 8px to cushion imagery and notes without feeling bubbly. Use one shape language per element—don't mix rounded and square in the same control.

## Components

Buttons
- Primary: 28px height, text color #ffffff, 0px radius, padding 7px 0. Use on dark fills (e.g., #000000 or #232427) for clear contrast.
- Secondary: Same dimensions as primary; use for secondary CTAs next to a primary.
- Link: Text-only action with #ffffff when over imagery; reserve for low-emphasis actions.

Card
- Background #fbf8f5, text #000000, 8px radius, 16px inner padding. Use for content snippets and product summaries.

### Masthead Navigation
- Horizontal bar over imagery. Labels in Folio Std 16px/1.5 using #ffffff when over photos, switching to #000000 on neutral surfaces. Spacing: sm (10px) between items.

### Hero Billboard
- Full-bleed image/video with left-aligned copy. Headline set in Freight Big Pro headline-lg (32px/300), supporting line in Folio Std body-md (16px). Two CTAs using button-primary and button-secondary placed on a single row with md (20px) gap.

### Manifesto Block
- Section on #fbf8f5 with a small overline in Folio Std body-md, followed by multi-line headline in Freight Big Pro headline-md (27px) with selective italics. Outer spacing: lg (58px) top and bottom.

### Category Links Row
- Four quick-access links (e.g., Shirts, Dresses). Body-md text, gaps at sm (10px). Use secondary (#55555a) for default state and primary (#000000) on hover.

### Product Tile
- Container as Card (8px radius, 16px padding). Title in headline-xs (19px); price in body-md (16px). Quick-add uses button-primary (28px tall) with white text.

### Cart Drawer (Quick-Add Recommendations)
- Panel surface #fbf8f5 with brand-explosive-grey (#c4c4c5) dividers. Line items arranged on a 20px grid; action buttons keep 0px radius and 28px height.

### Country & Currency Selector
- Modal list on neutral surface with body-md entries and 20px row height multiples. Use #c4c4c5 rules between groups; active row switches to primary text.

### Search Panel
- Full-width overlay using #fbf8f5. Popular searches in body-md with sm (10px) chips; results list separated by #c4c4c5 hairlines.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do keep copy short and let photography dominate; rely on lg (58px) and xl (74px) section spacing for pace.
- Do use italics sparingly in Freight Big Pro for emphasis; avoid italic body text.
- Do use #c4c4c5 borders for separation instead of shadows.
- Don't round buttons—keep the 0px radius; reserve the 8px radius for cards and media.
- Don't mix too many text colors; use primary (#000000) for body, secondary (#55555a) for subdued notes, and white only over dark fills or imagery.
- Don't oversize buttons; maintain the 28px height for a tailored look across the site.
